Why choose Busy Bees at St Matthews: -


Busy Bees at St Matthews is a beautiful converted church, just on the outskirts of Lichfield.  Much of the original character of the building has been retained to provide spacious and interesting rooms and well thought spaces for young children.

The nursery consists of 8 play rooms on the ground and first floor with a private and safe garden for all children.

We also provide Out Of School Care and Holiday Club facilities for children up to 11 years old in our 'Hive' room.  We currently provide before and after school drop off and collection services to 2 local schools.

I am the Nursery Manager at St Matthews I have worked at the nursery since it opened in 2005.

I gained my NNEB qualification in 1994 and I have worked in the private sector in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and the West Midlands.

Over the past few years I have attended many courses and training sessions with Busy Bees and the Local Authority including: Safeguarding Level 1 and 2, Behaviour Management, First Aid, Early Years Foundation Stage and First Line Management.

I got married in 1998 and my own daughter, who is now a very confident little girl, also attends the holiday club at St Matthews.

I can say that I do love my job, every day is different, every child is unique and being part of their growth and development is a pleasure.
